CREDITS:

(Required)
Xatoga - Original Author (has not been on in ~4 years, let me know if you hear from her)
General Frank - Some modifications, as of 2017.10.09
(Optional)
Kyrbi0 - Idea Guy & Uploader


~~~
PERMISSION:
~~~
In lieu of the primary author (Xatoga's) thoughts on the matter, I give Full Permission to Use, Modify, and Reupload Modifications to any who wish it. Please simply give Credits wherever this is applicable, and do not simply reupload as-is to other websites (keep modified re-uploads to the Hive).


~~~
DESCRIPTION:
~~~
The Holy Cavalier (or "Silver Knight" or "Knight of the Silver Hand" as it was known for us) was a regular Knight empowered by the Holy Light! A stalwart companion and boon to any Alliance contingent, the Holy Cavaliers were dispatched directly by the Order of the Silver Hand to the most Scourge-devastated areas in the Third War. Able to reveal the landscape in a line with Holy Vision, or slay the mightiest undead with Exorcism, the Holy Cavalier's greatest ability was to heal his fellow combatants. Wielding their mighty warhammers & charging on furious armored steeds, the Holy Cavaliers represent the truth, life, and the Light!


~~~
BACKGROUND:
~~~
This is a model made as part of a team effort; myself, Xatoga, and @Scyth-Master were contestants in the late, great, failed Hive Olympics! Creating a custom model for a hero, unit & building each for two races, a custom terrain, and custom object editor data turned out to be too much (as well as making teams of 3 work, lol).

Lots of really cool models came out of it, though, and many of them have been uploaded over the years... And here we are. Was going through old maps & I found this. Seeing it, I thought that, despite it's simplicity, it could really use the light of day. Perhaps someone else can find some use for it?

Anyway, enjoy!


~~~
CHANGELOG:
~~~
v1: Initial Release
v2: General Frank's changes (described in linked post above)
v3: Minor finishing touches (model name, filename, etc)
...


~~~
WISHLIST:
~~~
- Hero or Unit?
- - Add Hero Glows (Origin, Chest, Weapon)
AND/OR
- - Add Decay Flesh/Decay Bones animations

General Frank
A fine model edit with good execution. Nice use of textures. Works in-game and performs adequate. Good job.

Um, so, as per the description, Xatoga has been AFK for about 4 years, and I (the original uploader) do not have the skills to make those changes.

So unless some kind, generous soul wishes to visit this model with those changes... Substandard? : )

Alright. I've downloaded & tested your Edited version, and (of course :p) I approve of it, so once given permission I will add you to the description & credits & upload the Edited version.

That was fast! Or I'm just slow.

(in retrospect I should've had Xatoga make it into a Unit (i.e. Decay instead of Dissipate (or perhaps she just didn't get to it in time)). As such, users will need to add their own Hero Glow to use it as a Hero with it's current Dissipate anim.
